Use Google Apps for Business? Grab a free copy of Quickoffice from Google Play

Google is now providing a way to edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents for Google Apps for Business users

Google Drive is pretty slick. It allows you to collaborate, edit on the fly, and create documents and easily share them. The problem is, most of the time somebody in your organization will end up using a Microsoft Office product and throw a wrench in it all. You see, Google Drive's editing abilities don't mix well with Microsoft Office files.

Since Microsoft Office is the de facto standard for business documents, Google is trying to alleviate any problems a bit by offering up a free copy of Quickoffice -- which is very compatible with the various MS Office format. If you're a Google Apps user, grab it free from the Google Play link above.

Say what you want about other Microsoft products, but Office isn't going away anytime soon. It's not really about the features (which all the open-source alternatives have), but about the synergy within their suite of products as well as the integration with external products, and in this regard, Office is light years ahead of its competitors. Try getting OpenOffice to share slides over a video-conference call and sync the current slide with the presenter.

I think you are all missing the big point here... If Microsoft passed by on their was to self destructing, the poster is also on that path.... Finger on I say! But, be weary of the path you are on yourself..... <<< add spooky music >>>

How does one become a business users? Is this a paid account through Google? I downloaded Quickoffice through Google play for free. Then it asked to link to my google account which is just a normal google account and then it told me the cost was $19.99?
